Because nowadays many fruits and veggies are bread for storability and transportability. Then sugariness. Taste is an afterthought. Let alone smell.
I got a tiny lot and started growing some berries, fruits and veggies. There's a masive selection for pretty much any given species. Do you want eat-off-the-plant or make a jam? Do you prefer more or less sugary taste? How much are you willing to maintain and defend them? If you're looking for analysis paralysis, gardening is the way to go.
- malfist 2y agoApples aren't like other fruit, they're essentially clones. If you breed an apple for something, your making a new apple
- mantas 2y agoYes. But the general tendency in Apple breeding is the same. Transportability and storability above all. With then getting more sugary, save granny smith. Personally I’m after historical apples. I’ve two local classics. One breed is from 19th century, the other is probably older, but I don’t buy claims it’s coming from medieval era. Taste is nice and they survive pretty well with very little upkeep with no modern chemistry. I also just planted few less-known modern colon style breeds. Fingers crossed few years later it will pay off.
